Hello
Yes , you can apply for the CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) even if you are not currently working in a school.
The eligibility criteria for CTET require candidates to have the necessary educational qualifications, such as B.Ed. but there is no requirement to be employed at the time of application.
If you meet the qualification criteria, you are eligible to appear for the exam.
Mitali Sharma 04 March,2025
Hello,
As a first-year BSTC (Basic School Teaching Certificate) student, you are not eligible to appear for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) .
Eligibility for CTET requires candidates to have completed or be in the final year of a teacher education program recognized by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE).
Therefore, you can apply for CTET only when you are in the final year of your BSTC program.
Hope you find it useful !
Prachi Kumari 28 February,2025
Hello there,
No, you are not eligible for CTET
because the eligibility criteria require
at least 50% in 12th or Graduation
along with the required teacher training qualifications (like B.Ed or D.El.Ed).
CTET Eligibility Criteria:
-
For Paper 1 (Class 1-5)
–
50% in 12th + D.El.Ed/B.El.Ed
(Relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwD).
- For Paper 2 (Class 6-8) – 50% in Graduation + B.Ed (Relaxation available).
Even though you have
61% in M.A.
, CTET considers only
12th and Graduation marks
, so you
don’t qualify
.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
kumardurgesh1802 12 February,2025
Hello
The eligibility for becoming a Hindi teacher depends on state rules and qualifications . Clearing CTET is essential but specific states may not consider your high school math marks as a criterion for Hindi teacher eligibility. Instead, they focus on:
1. Educational Qualifications : Bachelor's degree with Hindi as a subject.
2. Teacher Training : B.Ed or equivalent.
3. Passing CTET/STET : Necessary for government teaching jobs.
Above qualifications and clear CTET, your math marks in high school shouldn't be a barrier to becoming a Hindi teacher.
Hope this helps you .
Thank you
